"Rizvana Bradley, Assistant Professor of Women’s Gender and Sexuality Studies at Emory University, will moderate a conversation between Steffani Jemison and Rujeko Hockley, Assistant Curator of Contemporary Art at the Brooklyn Museum, about Jemison’s rigorous meditations on the nature of photography and photo-based work, including experimental video, and how Jemison confronts assumptions about these mediums, their form and materiality, through her engagement with Black history and aesthetics."

DID YOU KNOW?

"In 2009 Hagedorn Foundation Gallery opened under the mentorship of Julian Cox, Curator of Photography at the Getty and High Museums. Since that time, the not–for-profit gallery has extended the scope of photography and photo based art in Atlanta focusing on contemporary practices which foreground social and political issues and which frequently push the definition of documentary tradition and artistic manipulation. Exhibitions are augmented by lectures and talks at the gallery by exhibiting artists and panels of cultural, art historical and theoretical experts. Hagedorn Foundation Gallery also offers classic images and vintage and secondary market collections.

Hey Paulette and everyone, a few of us attended a lecture last night with a great architectural photographer Richard Pare from the UK, recently specializing in photodocumenting the works of the great Le Corbusier. The Lumiere Gallery is right by where your lecture is already scheduled, and they are having a reception featuring this photograper on site to discuss his work they are showing, beginning 10am (to noon)! Seems convenient to stop by on your way to the scheduled lecture? He was talking about digital tiling and how important stitching multiple images together was in allowing him to best portray some of the complex interiors; a very interesting man with lovingly thought out shots of great architecture.

I would go to both of these but have a prior conflict; y'all have fun! This gallery was on the upstairs floor when I went previously, assume they are still there.

We're about:

This group is for Art friends who would like to have a home base in the beautiful High Museum of Art in Atlanta. It is open to both Museum members and non members and while the activities do not always take place at the High, we aim to support the institution through volunteering and financial contributions whenever possible. The idea is to enjoy Atlanta's art scene with an anchor in the metropolitan area of ATL.

To be able to enjoy the full variety of our events, I strongly suggest you become a member of the Museum as it pays off after just a couple of visits, plus you get special member-only benefits as well. If you are interested in meeting others who are just as passionate about the High Museum as you are, please join us!

We are also on Facebook, please like us to get additional news and exclusive events. We'd love to see you there as well!

Imagine having a community behind you

I decided to start Reno Motorcycle Riders Group because I wanted to be part of a group of people who enjoyed my passion... I was excited and nervous. Our group has grown by leaps and bounds. I never thought it would be this big.
